Global distribution agreement for Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet PHY transceivers

Mouser has announced a global distribution agreement with Marvell Semiconductor. The company will distribute Marvell Fast Ethernet and Alaska Gigabit Ethernet PHY transceivers. “Mouser is excited to offer our customers Marvell’s high-performance, low-power PHY transceivers,” said Kristin Schuetter, vice president of Supplier Management at Mouser. “Marvell has an exceptional history of delivering next-generation products that continue to revolutionize how customers move data.” “Mouser is a proven global partner with top-tier sales and customer support that reflect our own high standards,” said Dean Jarnac, vice president, Americas Sales and Global Distribution at Marvell. “With Mouser's leadership in global distribution, we expect to significantly increase adoption of our Ethernet transceivers.” The Fast Ethernet PHY transceivers allow low power dissipation, high performance, small form factor, and an advanced feature set. The octal Fast Ethernet PHY family, including the 88E3082 and 88E3083 devices, emphasises significantly lower power consumption (under 150mW per port), allowing network systems manufacturers to reduce system costs by decreasing both power supply and fan requirements.
